I just resurfaced my deck and I'm rearranging the layout. Thinking of repositioning the Holland. I have two options - against the house (there is a corner that provides some protection from the wind) and against the deck railing. What is the recommended clearance from vinyl siding and stained, pressure treated decking rails for safe operation?

You should have the smoke stacks about 6" away from the wall when you open the lid. One other concern is to make sure you have a drip mat on the deck so it will catch the dripping that come off of the stacks when you open the lid.
